Yes, snow leopards have two layers of fur. The outer layer consists of long, thick guard hairs that help repel moisture and protect against harsh weather, while the undercoat is dense and soft, providing insulation against the cold. This unique double coat enables them to thrive in their mountainous habitats, where temperatures can drop significantly.

How often do snow leopards reproduce?
The mating season for snow leopards is late winter and early spring, normally January to mid-March. Females have to be 2 or 3 years old, and males have to 4, before either can mate. When snow leopards find a mate, they stay together during a short period of time. They mate 12-36 times a day, in the usual felid posture, during which one snow leopard climbs on the other's back. Once the female is pregnant, the male leaves; he doesn't help raise the cubs. Female snow leopards can mate every other year, although they don't always.
